gateway:~ # rpm -q gnome-games-2.28.2-0.1.2.i586
package gnome-games-2.28.2-0.1.2.i586 is not installed
gateway:~ # smart query gnome-games-2.28.2-0.1.2 at i586

I'm not sure what the return is supposed to be if something
really is installed.  However:

gateway:~ # smart query --installed | grep i586
master-boot-code-1.22-3.5 at i586


And if I query something that _is_ installed:

gateway:~ # rpm -qa | head
libdns_sd-32bit-0.6.25-32.1.x86_64
libredland-devel-1.0.10-11.5.x86_64
lirc-0.8.6_0.8.7_0CVS201005120922-1.1.x86_64
...
gateway:~ # smart query libredland-devel-1.0.10-11.5 at x86_64
Updating cache...               ######################################## [100%]

libredland-devel-1.0.10-11.5 at x86_64


I get the same result as with gnome-games.

Is this still worth filing a bug?  If so, what exactly is the
bug I'm filing?

I found a patch that can disable the biarch option.  However,
when it set it to false, all I get is x86_64, and true gives
only i586 and noarch.  Not really usable.

That's because eskimo is a little under the weather.  The guy who
runs is is AFK for a year.  In the meantime, his son, who is not
a sysadmin, is doing his best to keep it going.  I hang in there
with it as I've been with eskimo for more than 20 years.  I just
hope the owner can get back and salvage the place before it goes
bust.
